The sun was already climbing when I slipped through the school gates, bag slung over one shoulder.
Kuoh Academy was the same as always loud, bright, and full of energy I didn't have.
My body felt too sore from the training I did yesterday.Who knew doing physical drills and at the same time being an untrained muggle would leave every muscle begging for mercy?.
"Well Fuck you past me for putting me through this shit."
Each step down the hallway my body reminded me I wasn't cut out for this kind of life doing this exertion is not normal and you should give up.
But this is the first time in my past life and issei that the world felt much colorful and magical.I will not go back to where I was before being content and useless.
Since this life gives me opportunity I should seize it and strive to be better.
Enough monoluge save it for later.
I walked toward my classroom, yawning, trying to act normal .*keyword tried
Matsuda and Motohama were already there, laughing perversely to each other.
"Yo Issei have you seen Milky Spiral Punyu Punyu" Matsuda and Motohama called out to me.
Normally, I'd join in, maybe throw in a pervert joke or two, but today, I just slumped into my seat and pulled out my notebook. feeling too tired to answer.
With too much going on alongside threats on my life I can't muster the feeling the feeling I used to do.
"I'm not the same idiot who shouted I wanna be the Harem King every day anymore."I muttered.
though every now and then should be alright but not now.
The teacher's voice filled the room, droning about something that barely registered in my mind I half-listened, half-stared out the window.
I need write down a schedule to remind myself i must do this everyday from now now.
Time slipped by.
I go through all that day resting really from that exhausting workout, and also I must say something I forgot to mention if anyone is listening there's a lock on ability I can use.
I need to roll 5 abilities from the gacha to get 2 active slots.
I have 2 abilities right now, The spiritual interaction and the Titan Armour.
I can't use both simultaneously.
The bell rang
[Ding]~[Dong]~[Ding]~[Dong]
It almost scared the crap outta me.
but it was just the lunch bell.
I grabbed my lunch, the one Mom made this morning and headed straight to my new favorite place. The rooftop.
___
The breeze greeted me as I stepped outside, carrying with it the faint scent of wind and hum of the city below.
From up here, Kuoh looked peaceful — like nothing strange ever happened in this town.
I sat down ate my lunch and took out my grimoire*notebook*.
Scrawled inside were messy mana formulas, little diagrams, and personal notes about control and output that i tried yesterday.
It wasn't much, since i was exhausted by the physical training, but I decided to spend 30 minutes spell practice.
"Alright, I should be ready" I took my hand out from my heart to the finger tips.
"Let's see if I can pull this off properly today."
"Fireball" A tiny red spark flared to life onto the tip of my fingers, then fizzled out with a soft puff not enough mana.
Again.
Another spark, brighter this time, hovered briefly before vanishing.
Again and again I've done it onto he fith try it happen.
"Fireball"
a weak fire appear on the tip of my finger like a lighter fire yesterday practice pays off though it is pretty weak.
"Finally."I grinned, sweat beading on my forehead.
It wasn't luck this time it's just me and my effort.
I always ask a question to myself, what are you without your Gacha?.
"A nobody" that's what I always answer and this lead me to do more and find something I personally have.
If I was nobody I would die in few weeks and be subservient to another.
If I was nobody all of my achievements belong to another and always tied to that person. So that's why it's important to me to prove that even if I'm nobody, I could always better than me yesterday compared today.
I took a rest and continued once more with more fervor.
I started smiling feeling excitement all over my body.
I want to be Strong, Stronger than anyone.
"THIS IS REAL MAGIC" I shouted to particularly no one.
[BOOST!]
"Ha haha" I laughed.
Red bulky gauntlet with two gold blades jutting out the side and a green emerald embeddedon the center.
Appeared on my left arm

[Cavern Elemental]
|Rare Familiar|
Calamity Mod - An elemental born in the harsh and desolate caverns, he is physically mighty, being able to exert control over rock and ground. He can split the ground in two with his axe. He is great at defence.
The gacha must be telling me something.
What do you mean I always got Earth Magic or anything close to it First The Titan Armour,then Virgo finally this.
Am I the Earth Bender then?.
___
Far below, unnoticed by me, two figures sat in the Student Council room.
Sona paused mid-sentence, her bishop hovering above a chessboard.
"...Did you feel that?"
Rias looked up from her , brow arched. "A burst of mana?"
"Mm." Sona adjusted her glasses. "Probably Hyoudou that person magic signature got registered recently to our ward." Though doing magic in a school grounds at lunch that takes a bravery.
Sona put down to the bishop to c4.
Rias looked at her." Is he the magician that strike a deal with you?" Rias put down pawn to d4.
"Yes.." Sona feels very guilty and looks at rias.
"Say rias, if right now I can get you out of your Engagement would you take it?",Sona gripped the Queen piece in her hands tightly.
"Say that again," Rias murmured, her voice quivering in a whisper.
"Sona, What do you mean by that?"She looked at her best friend the game of chest at the back of her mind.
Rias grab sona hand.
"Of course I'm want to,but even brother cannot do anything about it" her eyes pleading as she looks at sona.
"Rias...ok I'll help you"Sona sighed and feels very relieved.

"HMmm" Im humming very happily very please with the upgrades I got.
Lunch was over for quite a while now and I skipped the rest of the day and very much exited.
School is over with the teacher's probably wondering what I did for thr rest of the day.
Feeling very happy I summoned Virgo.
"What can I do for you master?"She appeared drilling a hole
"Nothing, just feeling happy "I grinned with this I am a Low Grade Existence rivaling raykage?rayray.ah raynare.
With all of this if i didn't survive then It must be me that is the mistake.
"Oh, then master if you're so happy would you be willing to whip me then?"her face stoic but the word coming out her mouth feels way perverse.
"No, don't spoil the mood but if you're willing to then should i?" nono not now we should do dating first then the wedding finallythe bedroom.
"He~he~."i grinned at the thought.
"No Virgo not now". I stopped feeling somebody watching me.
I saw a black feather what looked like dropped from a raven.
I looked around but didn't see anyone but the earlier happy feeling is gone.
I looked around.
"Virgo have you seen anyone?"I asked.
"Master, I didn't detect anyone near you" She knew because she use earth magic and the vibration of the ground to feel anyone close enough to her master.
"Ha .." Issei sighed is probably the crow she must have notice me through some unknown means.
Was it the Sacred Gear that notify her of my existence?.
It was then I noticed around me there are no one.
It must have been because I was happy, that I failed to notice the people are getting fewer and fewer until me and Virgo are left.
"Master!"
Virgo took a hold of me and we sink underground she swims through the ground pulling me along like a fish.
We appeared distance away from our position and looked as a Javelin or Spear Made out of Light is stabbed where we been standing.
I looked up and see a hovering woman in a very revealing outfit resembling a bandage style. What differed and out of place is wing black as a raven were attached to her back.
"I'm surprised you dodged that vermin"she sound surprised but ready to throw another one.
"Ha!" I summoned everything available to me my Riot Gear and Sniper Rifle and the new familiar cavern elemental.
"Virgo protect me earth elemental attack and go!" I summoned my sacred gear.
[BOOST!]
The Cavern fly and pursue the attacker surprisingly fast distracting raynare.
Virgo covered me and controlled the earth forming a military bunker around me.
"You bunch of trash, do you think this slow thing will get me" she started throwing lance at the Cavern weaving and dodging the slow attack of the Cavern familiar.
She stayed still for a bit and used a super charged lance of light to the Cavern elemental destrimg it leaving only a n axe that dropped to the ground.
During that time she stayed still I scoped and hit her with the bullet but it only hit her shoulder. Along one of her wing,Falling to the ground.
That was enough.
"Virgo tie her down".
she suddenly disappeared, I looked and see a hole where she's standing and raynare got swallowed by the earth.
Feeling the shake of the ground in I tried to run closer with Titan Armour ready just in case.
The ground exploded and raynare and virgo come out of the ground.
Raynare looked to be in severe injuries and skewed between her spear of light is Virgo
"VIRGO"!!
"Master.."She looked at me in pain her stoic expression is gone only agony and pain.
She must be in pain.
I only know her for a days but she's the one who cared for me and send me home when I'm all exhausted.
She understood me best and we have some much to look forward for.
She is in pain.
Blood is leaking through her abdomen with so much blood.
Is it always like this?.
Would something I care for take my supposed fate?.
Just like how Issei died and a part of me broke along with the sound I hear.
"I'm sorry." With that she broke and scattered into light fragments
"I admit she was strong but that's it, it's your turn now boy"She forms a threw the spear that was holding Virgo at me
Blood
"So much blood "..
[Boost!]
I walked as the earth Solidified and change around me covering me like an armour .deflecting that attack.
[Boost!]
I walk and walked as the ground lift the axe elemental Cavern dropped.
[Boost!]
Overdrafting my heart, I give part of it to the Dragon in me.
"What a shame!" Blinking green light in my left arm.
"Just when I find a perfect partner" It stopped speaking.
Raynare
"Ahhh Monster!!" That thing looked at me and getting closer she threw another.
She stopped.
Useless.
She stared at it frozen because standing in front of her Is a Monster 4 Meter Tall that is made out of Solidified Earth.It Raise it axe and swung down.
"CrackaaBOooom" fissure raising an low magnitude earthquake appeared and nothing but red splatter is left.
RESET!
